Schumer refers to mentally disabled children as 'retarded'

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Speaking on the One NYCHA podcast, Senator Chuck Schumer

...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 45.52436 years, or 318.67052 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
referred to mentally disabled children as "retarded." That word has long since gone out of favor with those who seek to destigmatize children and adults who are developmentally disabled.

Not many years ago that was the technical terminology, as earlier idiot and imbecile were technical terms. The change came from people being supersensitive on their behalf, not from those with the condition.

This initiative will actually house the homeless population that is actually living on our streets," the host for the New York City Housing Authority said. "We see them every day, and we are about to house them, and they are against it! It's unbelievable." The full recording of his appearance is on Facebook.

"Yes," Schumer said. "I have found that my whole career. I wanted to build, in my first, in Assembly. They wanted to build a congregant living space for retarded children. The whole neighborhood was against it! These were harmless kids, they just needed some help. We got it done," he said.

I hear no malice or mockery in that statement, but only caring. Some people need to get over their need to show their assumed superiority by playing gotcha.

A spokesperson for Schumer has since acknowledged that the senator "used an inappropriate and outdated word" during the recent interview.

"For decades, Sen. Schumer has been an ardent champion for enlightened policy and full funding of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities," the politician's representative told the Washington Examiner. "He used an inappropriate and outdated word in his description of an effort he supported that was led by the AHRC to build a group home in his Brooklyn district decades ago to provide housing and services to children with developmental disabilities. He is sincerely sorry for his use of the outdated and hurtful language."

Considering Schumer lived the majority of his life in the 20th Century, this is not hard to understand, his language is not in keeping with the 21st Century vogue - Destroying & Criticizing People, Places, Ideas and Ideals, if any are not reflective of their dictitorial socialist model of societal engineering.

Don't apologise, the message is whats important; tell the Socialists that they are petites, not grown adults, their thoughts and behavior are like out of control children - very small, petite children. Their intellectual priorities matches children too.

#3 Sometimes I play the fool in public. It's strategic. My behavior is designed to draw out displays of arrogance and superiority from those I (and others) would be better off disregarding completely. It's also very efficient.

#4 Schumer is morally retarded. That's even worse.

#5 Far too many of the Washington crowd and their extended friends and associates appear to have rather troubling proclivities which involve young children.

....Or is it just me ?
